Billing and Payment system for a unicorn startup
Meng Xia
Clicking at the link below, you will be greeted with a page that previews a hotel booking at a hospitality startup called Sonder.
Behind the scene is, a complex, yet easy to follow billing and payment system that pals and I built at Sonder.
Do you ever wonder why we are constantly being asked how many people stays at our hotel booking, despite there's only one bed? That's because cities collect hospitality taxes based on persons*nights stayed.
Complex tax rules parsed, per night room revenue recognized, the system I helped build then charges the customer with the correct amount. With 400MM USD collected through the system, every part of the system was built to tested for correctness and robustness.
Take a call with me to get consultations on how to build a revenue-recognition-enabled billing and payment system.
